A DREAM, by IRENE T. DAGUE First Line: I fain would build a little house Last Line: And find a welcome there. Subject(s): Dreams; Home; Nightmares | ||||||||
I fain would build a little house Up at the end of the street, In sight of waving fields of corn, Where pavement and meadows meet. I would not ask for many rooms Just so they'd sunny be, With flowers and grasses growing round And space to plant a tree. And oh! I'd want a garden, Where I might hoe and dig And bring in greens and salsify And cabbages so big! And in this little dreamed-of house, May there be a little den With books and blocks and dolls about For children when they come. And for the grownups always be Good fare and cheer in store; Where friends might talk, read, sleep, or walk And find a welcome there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS LACK OF STEADFASTNESS; BALLAD by GEOFFREY CHAUCER TWO WITCHES: 2.
